WELCOME, VISITORS! If you are a visitor to the Cathedral, we want you to know how welcome you are – whether you have come from another part of the country, from across the world, or simply from another parish here in the Archdiocese. For more information about the parish, to register, or to ask a question, visit our Sunday Help Desk at Coffee Hour. A Cathedral staff person will be on hand to assist you. Be sure to stop by the Cathedral Bookstore after Mass for a wide selection of Cathedral souvenirs as well as Catholic books and gifts.
FLOWERS AT THE ALTAR are offered in honor of all fathers and in loving memory of Thomas E. Long on the first anniversary of his death. THURSDAY EVENING ADORATION. Immediately following the 5:30pm Mass on Thursday evenings, all are invited to a time of quiet prayer and adoration with Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament. ORDINATIONS TO THE PRIESTHOOD. On Saturday, June 22 at 10:00am, all are welcome to the Mass of Ordination. Three young men will be ordained for service to the Archdiocese of Seattle. CORPUS CHRISTI PROCESSION. Next Sunday, June 23, we will have the traditional procession with the Blessed Sacrament at the end of the 10:00am Mass. It is a joyful and festive celebration with choirs and bagpipes as we bring our faith to the streets. Pope Francis has said, “At the end of Mass, we too will go out; we will go forth with Jesus, who will pass through the streets of this city. Jesus wants to dwell among you. Let us open our doors to him and say: Come, Lord, and visit us. We welcome you into our hearts, our families and our city. We thank you because you have prepared for us the food of life and a place in your Kingdom. Make us active in preparing your way, joyous in bringing you, who are life, to others, and thus to bring fraternity, justice and peace to our streets. Amen.” HOW TO HELP SOMEONE CONTEMPLATING SUICIDE.

SEEL RETREAT INVITES YOU TO DRAW NEARER TO GOD. The Spiritual Exercises in Everyday Life (SEEL) is a 9 month retreat format of the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius, with retreat community in Seattle meeting on Capitol Hill. The SEEL retreat goes from September through May and is a powerful, lifechanging program of prayer and spiritual direction that can be done by busy people in the midst of their daily lives. SEEL is accepting applications now for the retreat starting in September 2019. Information, www.seelpugetsound.org or 206-721-3518. ST VINCENT DE PAUL INVITES YOU to consider volunteering with us. Our Cathedral Vincentians help parish residents in need of financial aid with rent and some of life’s other necessities. We deliver our help by visiting people in their homes. Our visits are friendly and nonjudgmental. If you are a patient listener with compassion for the poor, you might enjoy and find spiritual growth in our outreach mission. We meet as a group at St James for about 90 minutes on two Tuesday evenings each month. In addition, each month most of our members do home visits (always in pairs) one or more times per month, each time taking 2-3 hours to complete the visits. Please contact us for more details and with any questions you may have. Information, Bob Clifford, 206-718-4158. PARISH REMEMBRANCE: Throughout the year, because we are the Cathedral Church, we remember in prayer at Mass and Vespers each of the parishes and missions of the Archdiocese of Seattle on a Sunday near their feast day. This week we pray for the parishes of Holy Trinity in Bremerton, St. Aloysius in Buckley, and St. Thomas More in Lynnwood.
